Default Noob here!!!!!

Just bought a 99 z28 convertible white with tan top a few months ago and wanted to say hi. I bought the car from El dorado in Mckinney with 40k on it. Its an auto cuz its the old ladys DD. Im familiar with most simple mods like lid, l6 mani, exhaust, headers. I plan to do most of these things next year with the income tax check but for now its bone stock. If anyone had a lid or intake they wanna sell pm me. I will post pics later on and if anyone knows about this car lmk I believe we bought it back in march of this year.

there's a few other people here who have skittles (i'm assuming that's what you're referring to), as well as STi's, WRX's, EVO's, etc. you should be fine as long as you don't act like you're in TF&TF or something.

and btw...welcome
